That's interesting, I would expect the chain between 350C Task Force and the President is primarily FYI and rubber stamped at each step, until it gets to the top.
I would hope at the top they would scrutinize it more closely as well as take the political considerations into account.
When it's passed to JSOC I'd assume decisions are only on their ability to do it.
I still maintain Anwar al Awlaki was not a US citizen. He had renounced his citizenship publicly. While he had not done the defined deliver a letter to an embassy as spelled out in the rules, he had joined a foreign military fighting the US.
